About Oral Cancer Screening
What are Oral Cancer Screenings?
Oral cancer screenings are thorough examinations conducted by dental professionals to detect signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in your mouth. These screenings involve a visual inspection of your oral cavity and palpation of the tissues to identify any abnormal areas or growths. Our goal is to catch any signs of cancer early, when treatment is most effective.
Oral cancer screenings are typically performed during routine dental check-ups. They are especially important for individuals over the age of 40, those who use tobacco products, consume alcohol regularly, or have a history of oral cancer. Even if you do not fall into these categories, regular screenings are a proactive step in maintaining your overall health.
Why Have an Oral Cancer Screening?
Early detection is crucial in the fight against oral cancer. By identifying potential issues before they develop into more serious conditions, oral cancer screenings can significantly increase the chances of successful treatment. These screenings help in:
-
- Detecting early signs of cancer or precancerous conditions.
- Providing peace of mind knowing that your oral health is being monitored closely.
- Creating a baseline for future comparisons, allowing for more accurate monitoring over time.
- Prompting lifestyle changes to reduce risk factors for oral cancer.
